unkin-agent 9da206dc7c Implement autobackup-operator controllers, tests, CI and packaging
PVCs and CloudNativePG Clusters need S3 buckets and backup schedules
provisioned consistently. This operator watches the
backups.unkin.net/{schedule,destination} annotations on those objects and
provisions everything needed to back them up, with no new CRDs.

- Add a PVC controller that provisions cephrgw ObjectStoreUser/Bucket/BucketAccess,
  auto-generates a restic repo-password Secret and creates a k8up Schedule scoped
  to the PVC via spec.backup.volumes[].persistentVolumeClaim.claimName.
- Add a CNPG Cluster controller that provisions the same bucket stack, idempotently
  patches spec.backup.barmanObjectStore (leaving a user-set destinationPath alone
  with a Warning event) and creates a ScheduledBackup.
- Resolve destinations through a ConfigMap lookup table; requeue until the
  BucketAccess is Ready before creating schedule resources; own-reference created
  resources and retain bucket data by default.
- Add schedule-mapping helpers (k8up 5-field/shortcut pass-through, CNPG 6-field
  seconds-first) and deterministic, length-bounded name derivation.
- Add unit tests (schedule mapping, name derivation, destination resolution) and
  envtest controller tests for both paths, wiring the external CRDs into envtest.
- Add kubebuilder-generated RBAC, a Dockerfile (distroless/nonroot), Woodpecker
  lint/test/build pipelines and a tag-triggered image push to the artifactapi
  docker-internal registry, plus a version-bump Makefile and deploy manifests.

Versioning and Branching in controller-runtime

We follow the common KubeBuilder versioning guidelines, and use the corresponding tooling.

For the purposes of the aforementioned guidelines, controller-runtime counts as a "library project", but otherwise follows the guidelines exactly.

We stick to a major version of zero and create a minor version for each Kubernetes minor version and we allow breaking changes in our minor versions. We create patch releases as needed and don't allow breaking changes in them.

Publishing a non-zero major version is pointless for us, as the k8s.io/* libraries we heavily depend on do breaking changes but use the same versioning scheme as described above. Consequently, a project can only ever depend on one controller-runtime version.

Compatibility and Release Support

For release branches, we generally tend to support backporting one (1) major release (release-{X-1} or release-0.{Y-1}), but may go back further if the need arises and is very pressing (e.g. security updates).

Dependency Support

Note the guidelines on dependency versions. Particularly:

  • We DO guarantee Kubernetes REST API compatibility -- if a given version of controller-runtime stops working with what should be a supported version of Kubernetes, this is almost certainly a bug.

  • We DO NOT guarantee any particular compatibility matrix between kubernetes library dependencies (client-go, apimachinery, etc); Such compatibility is infeasible due to the way those libraries are versioned.
